Holidays

Well the holidays are over and back school well in my holidays I went to my cousin Nickie house up in Auckland and I had so much fun we went to the sky tower we went to the beach and also went on a big shopping day I brought so much clothes oh yea then I had a couple of days to have fun with my little cousin liem and cormack we went on there little play dates we had the best of times. I even got to go to Hamilton to have a look at our new members to our family Hawiki and Amene they were so cute and I had the most amazing time

What was the book Hoot about ?

Well this boy called Roy has moved to Coconut cove and he really wants to fit in but get's bullied almost every day on the bus by Dana mathason but Roy start's to get curious about a boy who run and never comes to school so Roy set out to find who he is and goes on amazing adventure with amazing new friends and finds out more to what's really happening so here we go.

                                     

Who was my favourite character and why 

So my favourite character in the book was Roy Eberhardt he was a really Kind 

sometimes stubborn but he had this spark that light up and he really wanted to 

protect that what he really believe in which

really got my attention he also cared for his friends as well he also stood up to the bully.   

Who was my least favourite character and why ?

My least favourite character was Danna mathason well this character was a bully and I hate bully he was rude, stubborn and he hurts Roy for fun and I disgrace what he does he pretend that he has no one in the world that can touch him and he really needs to work on his behaviour and his words.

What part of the book was my favourite ?

My most favourite part in the book was when Roy had given Mullet fingers his name to get help from the hospital when Mullet fingers was attacked from those dogs. It was risky but they had no choice but they did it.

What do I think the theme of the book was/what was the message    

Well theme was bulling and standing up for what you believe in and also friendship.

What rating Do I give It ?

Well I would give it a rating of 10/10 because it was well told and had a little bit of everything action and more it really got me in and it was amazing in any other way.   

What part of the movie are you looking forward to ?

well I'm looking forward to everything because the book is really different to the movie but I hope they have the hospital bit because I thought that was courage and great friendship. 

   

Aida

Last Tuesday Mokoia Intermediate School had attended the  Rotorua Boys High production called Aida.Which is a romance love triangle, action and more the show was amazing. The effects in it the life they put into it the costumes and the time they put into it also they wouldn't had done it without Rotorua Girls high I had loved it if I had another way to go  back again I would anyway let give you some info.  Okay Aida is a Nubian princesses but she must be a slave to keep her true self hidden and the a Egypt captain Radims who fall in love with Aida but he is forced to marry the princesses of Egypt.     

Cursive

In my opinion I don't think it's necessary to write in cursive because some students might fall behind in this particular writing form and its really bad for students to fall behind because we want them to be up there in their grade which is what we want now do we really want cursive to be written to this very day no I don't think we need to because the students might not have this skill and could be very hard and maybe difficult.


And also Only three state
 have made cursive a part of the core curriculum requirements

 while 45 states require proficiency in computer keyboarding at 

the elementary level. Some states have made cursive optional.

Has our society advanced to the point of where handwriting has 

become unnecessary.As I look at this I might re conceder that

writing in cursive is nice but might be hard for some students but  

we don't need to get lazy and trust technology we need to learn to 

write in different formates.

Will there making new and more technology we tend to get lazy 

with our hand writing which is not good we need to keep going 

with hand writing and not trust technology as much as we do.



So what I'm trying to it is nice to write in cursive but the choice 

is your's.Weather you write or trust technology.

     
  

  

Worlds Largest underground Trampoline Park

Mining Cavern Transforms Into World's Largest Underground Trampoline Park

Trampoline parks are sprouting up all across the world. However, they all pale in comparison to Bounce Below - the world's biggest underground trampoline park that opened in the historic slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales, on July 3rd. Nestled in a massive cavern that is located inside a 100ft deep and 60ft wide former slate mine, it provides visitors with a bouncing experience like none other.

Plus-I think it is amazing because you get more attraction and its fun for all ages.

Mines-I had really hoped that they would have made more tramps instead of just 3.

Interesting-I would love to go there because its really interesting on how they dug to do this.

The students of P3 had a chance to do program a graphing game called Kodu this game helps us to us technology differently making games and programming the characters to do amazing things. We are not the only class using this program there are other classes using them in the USA and it might take sometime to get the program going for the game you might want to create but its just so much fun to use.
